Thank you so much.

And we do have five seats available right now, but this morning we have one applicant.

And so we will hear from Jennifer Hann about why she wants to serve.

And thank you for being here with us this morning.

Thank you, Chair Walton and Supervisor Sherrill, for hearing my statement today.

I'm here during my time off in my capacity as a private citizen and as a toddler mom living in District 6.

I am here to request my reappointment on the DCYF OAC for the parent seat of a child under five and city subsidized services.

Over the last 18 years, as a teacher, business manager, social worker, community organizer, and workforce development professional.

I have been in positions with responsibility for ensuring universal access and full inclusion for children and families with disabilities.

Whether in the classroom and business or in community programs that connect people of all abilities to the dignity of work and to financial independence.

Shortly after my child was born, we found out that she has a rare condition which will substantially limit her access to school commerce work and social inclusion for the entirety of her life.

Perhaps it was luck that she became a San Francisco native, where she has access to the most incredible medical care as well as the city subsidized services that she is entitled to due to her disability.

I've also raised money for medical research into her rare condition and make public remarks on navigating service access as a parent of a child with disabilities in an ableist world.

My personal and professional experience has prepared me for this opportunity to support my child and to support the systems that can serve her better.

And my positionality affords me enormous privilege to navigate these systems and be fearless in advocating for my and other children's needs, especially while other families managing disabilities, such as families who only have public insurance, who speak non-English languages, parents who have multiple jobs, have mixed immigration status, or single caretakers, or black brown or indigenous, may not be afforded the same opportunities I have been given.

So I can and I will uplift all families in this role and have been honored to continue to serve on the OAC.

Thank you so much, Jennifer.

And I don't see any comments or questions from colleagues, so we will go to public comment on this item.

Yes, members of the public who wish to speak on this item should line up to speak at this time.

Each speaker will be allowed two minutes.

Are there any members of the public who would like to provide comment?

There does not appear to be any public comment on this matter.

Thank you, seeing no public comment.

Public comment is now closed.
